Zhou Fan didn't know that because he killed the Blue Ghost Mask Man, the situation in the city would change in a more severe direction.

But even if he knew, Zhou Fan would not let go of the Green Ghost Mask Man because of this.

It's a pity that the strength of the green ghost mask man is not weak, and it is not easy to capture such a physical Duan martial artist alive.

Otherwise, Zhou Fan would consider controlling him and inquiring about the whereabouts of his companions.

After returning to the courtyard where he lived, Zhou Fan didn't think much about it but went to rest.

The next day, Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu had breakfast together, and then the two came to Yiluan Sifu to start the day's work.

The atmosphere in the mansion became more and more solemn.

The three Si'an envoys all had blue faces, and after several days of searching, the two major forces hidden in the city still didn't find too many traces.

All I caught were small fish and shrimp.

"We can't go on like this, the wrestlers who are running around in various villages to carry out tasks are almost unable to hold on. Yan Huilai in the room said with a cold face.

In order to solve the two major forces in the city, they shrank back the already stretched manpower, and now the number of wrestlers outside is already small, but they are barely supporting.

I thought that I would be able to eliminate the two major forces in the city soon, but I didn't get anything in the past few days.

"I've thought of all the ways I can think of, and I've screened suspicious people from outside several times this year...... There are also house-to-house inspections...... I can't find those people and monsters. Monk Yuanhui said in a deep voice.

"What else can be done? Arrest all the suspects and torture them one by one. Grandpa Ao shouted.

Yan Hui didn't pay attention to Grandpa Ao, but frowned and thought.

In the past, when Grandpa Ao first came, he behaved like this, and when Yan returned, he thought that this father-in-law from the palace might have done it on purpose to show him, and suspected that Father-in-law Ao was hiding it deeply.

But after such a long period of time, Yan Hui understood a truth, not every eunuch who came out of the palace was deeply hidden......

It's just that if they could come up with an excellent solution in a short period of time, Tianliangli Ya and Yiluan Si would have done it a long time ago, and they wouldn't wait until this time.

Just as the monk Yuanhui said, in the past year, foreign suspicious people and various households have been checked, but they have not been able to find those people and strange people.

Now there are nothing more than two great possibilities, the first is that the personnel of the two major forces saw that the situation was not good, and temporarily left Tianliang City through their secret channels, waiting for the future to return.

The second is that they are still in Tianliang City, but they are extremely good at hiding, whether it is with the help of people's identities or hiding in some secret places that are relatively difficult to discover......

The key is that the ability of the wrestlers, patrols, and catchers in the palace to identify camouflage is still too weak.

Yiluan Sifu Yan's return and Monk Yuanhui's eyesight are both good, but they can't have time to look at everyone in Tianliang City.

Just when Yan returned and the three of them fell into deep thought, someone knocked on the door gently.

Someone knocked on the door while the three envoys were deliberating, which made their faces change slightly.

"Come in. Yan Hui said in a calm voice.

The door was pushed open, and it was a staff member of the Sifu who said in a hurried voice: "My lord, something is wrong. ”

It first happened in an alley in Dongfang.

Someone reported to Tianliangli that an alley in Dongfang emitted a foul smell of corpses.

In a densely populated place like Dongfang, it is not uncommon for some alleys to smell bad.

The people in the Tianliang Li Ya didn't take this seriously, thinking that it was a small animal such as a wild cat that had died near the alley, but the problem quickly worsened.

This alley, near the eastern city wall, was filled with a faint black mist.

Most people of this era were wary of some supernatural phenomena, and people immediately stayed away from the alley, and the residents near the alley also fled their homes.

The people in Tianliang Li really paid attention to it when they got the report for the second time, and they didn't dare to step into the alley, but quickly reported to Yiluan.

The ones who came to be in charge of this matter were the wrestlers Wu Chengcai and Mu Jianyuan in the Sifu.

Wu Chengcai, who looked like a scholar, shook the folding fan of black iron fan bones, he looked at the alley not far away that was covered by black smoke, and his hand subconsciously pinched the small gourd with the size of his thumb on his waist.

The black smoke showed no signs of spreading.

"Brother Mu, do you see what this strange thing is doing?" Wu Chengcai asked with a slight frown.

Mu Jianyuan's mouth was tightly closed, but a voice came from his belly: "I can't see it, or let's go and ask the talisman master in the Sifu to help take a look." ”

"Recently, there has been a shortage of manpower in the department, so let's take a look first. Wu Chengcai shook his head, he turned his head to look at the catcher beside him and asked, "Haven't the things you brought have arrived?"

"It's coming. The head catcher hurriedly replied.

After a while, a catcher walked back quickly with a cage of chickens and ducks.

"It's grinding, don't put it in quickly. The headcatcher scolded.

This alley is only three zhang long, but because of the black smoke, everyone can't see the situation inside.

The only way to test it is to use chickens, ducks and other poultry to test it first.

The trappers opened the cage and drove a chicken, two ducks, and a goose into the alley.

It's just that the chickens, ducks and geese entered the alley and didn't come out again.

Wu Chengcai and Mu Jianyuan listened attentively, but did not hear any sounds from chickens, ducks and geese.

There was a dead silence inside.

One caught a fast and patted the alley with a bamboo pole, but still didn't see the chickens, ducks and geese being driven out.

"Take the bamboo pole back and be careful. Wu Chengcai said in a deep voice.

The trappers carefully retracted the bamboo poles, which were stained with red blood and some feathers.

"Did you feel like you had swept a foreign object with a bamboo pole just now?" Mu Jianyuan asked the catcher who used a bamboo pole.

"Nope. Caught quickly shook his head.

Wu Chengcai and Mu Jianyuan glanced at each other, if not, the chickens, ducks and geese sent in would not even have their bodies.

But it's not clear how it didn't.

The alley was a little trickier than they thought.

What could be causing this?

There are so many strange phenomena of smoke that it is difficult to think of what is done from the black smoke alone.

Wu Chengcai asked the catcher to come back with a bottle of black smoke at the risk of filling it with a bottle.

Wearing special talisman gloves on both hands, he held the porcelain vase in one hand and looked at the two wrestlers.

Wu Chengcai glanced at the forbidden talisman on his body with a bottle in his hand, and did not see anything abnormal.

Wu Chengcai asked someone to catch another rabbit, carefully pulled out the cap of the bottle, and the black smoke poured on the rabbit's head.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the rabbit did not show anything unusual.

"It doesn't look like a curse, it doesn't seem like a poisonous gas, so why does all this smoke linger?" Wu Chengcai frowned and muttered to himself.

When they arrived, the wind had blown in the alley several times, but the black smoke showed no sign of being blown away.
